<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPSwAI"></A>Switch <B>-AI</B>
- ignore file attributes<hr></P>

<p>If this switch is used when extracting, WinRAR does not set
general file attributes stored in archive to extracted files.
This switch preserves attributes assigned by operating system
to a newly created file. It affects archive, system, hidden
and read-only attributes.</p>

<p>If this switch is used when archiving, predefined values,
typical for file and folder, are stored instead of actual attributes.</p>

<P>Supported only for RAR and ZIP formats when extracting and only 
for RAR format when archiving.</P>
